MacOS升级sierra后，git不能push也不能pull的解决方案

macOS Sierra 10.12 SSH Keys

I updated to macOS Sierra 10.12 (GM) tonight and surprisingly everything seemed to work without any issues … at least so far. One thing that did come up, but was easily remedied, was that all of my SSH keys stopped working.

ssh git@github.com

The above command prompted for a password (assuming you use GitHub), which is should not do if SSH keys are set up properly.

Assuming your SSH keys are RSA-based, I have a quick solution:

1. cd ~/.ssh

   1. This will get us into our user SSH folder

2. ssh-add -l

   1. This lists all keys that the SSH agent knows about. After upgrading, this returned zero keys! Note: In reality ssh-add is session-based, and so each time you log in this command will show zero results (see below).

3. ssh-add -K ~/.ssh/[your-private-ssh-key-name]

   1. You’ll be asked for the password (if one is set) for this private key
      1. -K tells ssh-add to save the key into your Keychain, so that on subsequent logins, even if ssh-add -l shows nothing, ssh will also look in your Keychain to see if the key is save there.
   2. [your-private-ssh-key-name] is likely id_rsa, but it could be others as well
   3. Repeat step 3 as needed

4. ssh-add -l

   1. You should now see you SSH key(s) listed

That worked for me, though oddly I had to do this process twice as the first time I made it to step four, then exited Terminal, none of my applications using SSH worked, I opened Terminal again and found that nothing was listed when I ran the ssh-add list command.

UPDATE:

This doesn’t seem to do what I thought it should, namely, upon reboot I had to repeat this process again. I have since added the following steps:

cd ~/.ssh/

sudo vim config

I then added this line to my SSH confile:

IdentityFile ~/.ssh/[your-private-ssh-key-name]

I saved the config file, and now my SSH keys work as expected.
